The first season training by himself has seen Shane Baertschiger show he is top ten and a real force to be reckoned with from now on.
He currently is ninth in an intriguing 2012 training table with 36 wins as at the time of writing and you can bet he will bolster that tally before seasons end.
Baertschiger has achieved such a stellar total through not having an outright star but many multiple performers, so it is in essence a pure team effort.
Bahen has contributed three wins to the pot and can make it a fourth today with the former Australian trained galloper showing potent pounce since racing in Singapore.
The gelding is the topweight in Race Ten today, the S$75K Class Three on the poly over 1200m, and can deliver in a kept fresh state.
He has raced five times at Kranji and four of them came on the all weather with the outcome three wins and a fourth, while his miss came on the turf at G2 from gate sixteen behind Gingerbread Man.
Three of his four career wins have come fresh up and he will run today having last started five weeks ago and won with contempt in a Kranji Stakes C field.
That win under 56.5kg was super and he put away a sound form source field since.
The runner up Makkura won her next start easily while Viva Panata, the fourth finisher, scored next time out and he had not won a race since March of 2011.
John Powell has been atop Bahen each time and knows the big horse best plus I suspect Baertschiger now knows his charge is most lethal kept fresh and coiled up like a spring ready to unleash.
There is one runner in the field that has beaten home Bahen fair and square when it carried 1.5kg less and will today have a 2kg buffer.
Great Light finished second in a Kranji Stakes C race on the poly in May when after racing handy from a good draw he chased an all the way winner Cash Dot Com.
The winner has since raced seven more times for two wins and four placings plus a fourth, so the form is very solid.
Great Light from the ace can improve on his record of two wins (both on the poly) and four placings in ten starts at Kranji.
Ivaldo Santana won on him last start at his first ride atop and as a result maintains the mount.
He certainly asked a lot of the Michael Clements trained gelding after copping trouble early and getting back and wide but such was the fitness of the five-year-old second up he could still beat the Class Three line up with ease.
A rise of 3kg today will not bother the galloper once known as Helicopter and do not fear the inside being a trap with another average start or being crowded.
Great Light used to be a leader or on pacer so can come out running and I think he will at least early to size up what the opposition are doing and their riders thinking.
Good Louken at 54.5kg with a very much in form Alan Munro atop can get into the finish for trainer Leticia Dragon.
I have noticed this galloper albeit a big enough entire does perform best when weighted lower and he has been in some rather useful fields.
Two starts ago he did well from back and wide for fifth behind Texan Takeover and I like formline worth since out of this race.
The winner next start finished second to the flying Goal Keeper and the runner up Bigdinero has since won well.
To add to this list we see the fourth finisher Birthday Gift come out since and bolt in.
The baby of the field today is the lone three-year-old Super Good and despite gate ten he is still a chance at 52kg with Stephen Baster to ride.
Anything with the name Super in Singapore is almost ordained to win and make the owners happy and joyful, with this Michael Freedman prepared gelded son of wonder sire Fastnet Rock having three wins already in the bank.
He has only raced once on the poly for a win in Class Four two starts ago and it came from gate eleven.
Baster has ridden him three times for a win and two placings and he is a clear second in the riding premiership, which is an impressive achievement for his first year in Singapore.
I am prepared to forgive Super Good last start as it was at 1400m and on a slow turf track that tripped up a plethora of runners that meeting.
Two runners that finished behind Super Good in that race and both were well backed have since come out and won, namely Huka Falls and Klever Man.
This is another form source for bettors as Ronnie Brown finished fourth and has come out and won since plus Silveron Warrior, which finished third, ran on the poly next start but since has won back to the turf.
The winner Hot Gold has since run a good fifth at G2 and the runner up Jackpot was a close second next time out.
The form omens are indeed in the favour of Super Good.
Plenty of pace in the feature sprint today and like every race from now on this season it has training premiership ramifications.
Enjoy the event.
